CreateEventSubscriptionRequest

Class

Container for the parameters to the CreateEventSubscription operation.
Creates an RDS event notification subscription. This action requires a topic ARN (Amazon
Resource Name) created by either the RDS console, the SNS console, or the SNS API.
To obtain an ARN with SNS, you must create a topic in Amazon SNS and subscribe to
the topic. The ARN is displayed in the SNS console.

You can specify the type of source (SourceType) you want to be notified of, provide
a list of RDS sources (SourceIds) that triggers the events, and provide a list of
event categories (EventCategories) for events you want to be notified of. For example,
you can specify SourceType = db-instance, SourceIds = mydbinstance1, mydbinstance2
and EventCategories = Availability, Backup.

If you specify both the SourceType and SourceIds, such as SourceType = db-instance
and SourceIdentifier = myDBInstance1, you will be notified of all the db-instance
events for the specified source. If you specify a SourceType but do not specify a
SourceIdentifier, you will receive notice of the events for that source type for all
your RDS sources. If you do not specify either the SourceType nor the SourceIdentifier,
you will be notified of events generated from all RDS sources belonging to your customer
account.

A list of event categories for a SourceType that you want to subscribe to. You can
see a list of the categories for a given SourceType in the Events
topic in the Amazon RDS User Guide or by using the DescribeEventCategories
action.

The list of identifiers of the event sources for which events will be returned. If
not specified, then all sources are included in the response. An identifier must begin
with a letter and must contain only ASCII letters, digits, and hyphens; it cannot
end with a hyphen or contain two consecutive hyphens.

Constraints:

If SourceIds are supplied, SourceType must also be provided.

If
the source type is a DB instance, then a DBInstanceIdentifier must be
supplied.

If the source type is a DB security group, a DBSecurityGroupName
must be supplied.

If the source type is a DB parameter group, a DBParameterGroupName
must be supplied.

If the source type is a DB snapshot, a DBSnapshotIdentifier
must be supplied.

The type of source that will be generating the events. For example, if you want to
be notified of events generated by a DB instance, you would set this parameter to
db-instance. if this value is not specified, all events are returned.
